The Harsh Light of Day was the third album by pop-rock band Fastball, released in September 2000 by Hollywood Records. The album had a distinctly more layered and glossier sound to past albums, and featured an impressive roster of guest stars, including The Beatles contemporary Billy Preston, Stray Cats frontman Brian Setzer and former Wallflowers guitarist Michael Ward. However, despite positive reviews and extensive touring and promotional activity, the album failed to match the success of its predecessor, and would be the band's last studio effort for Hollywood Records.

Miles Zuniga left the band briefly following the completion of promotional duties for The Harsh Light of Day, and moved to Nashville, Tennessee, but re-joined the band soon afterwards.^[1]

There is an episode of the television show Buffy The Vampire Slayer called The Harsh Light of Day. Coincidentally, Fastball's song "Fire Escape" from their previous album was featured on the show.
